Chapter Eighty-Four: Adjustment
"I said brother, your subordinates are enough, didn't I say that you would be done after a few days here, why do you want your subordinates to get things to Fujin Mountain?" When Tang Cheng saw Yu Baishui again, Yu Baishui had already reverted to the dress of a colonel officer, but Yu Baishui's face was not very good. If this matter develops according to Yu Baishui's plan, he and Tang Cheng will be able to enter the eyes of the chairman, but the people of the second company stabbed the matter to Zhong Bin, and after Zhong Bin's operation, this matter has become a matter known to everyone.
Chiang Kai-shek originally wanted to beat the Song family, and wanted to use this as the beginning of the rectification of Wuhan's gentlemen, but he didn't expect that his side had not yet exerted his strength, and the matter was known to everyone, and the people of the Song family were also behind the scenes, so Yu Baishui's carefully planned plan was declared aborted. "Okay, I've been transferred to Kunming to get on an errand, you and your company will go to the front line tomorrow to report, and the order may have been sent to Sanli Town." Yu Baishui gloated a little, he didn't get any benefits, and Tang Cheng's fate was not good.
How did this end up on the front line? Tang Cheng was also a little stunned, when Zhong Bin transferred the second company to Wuhan, he said that the second company stayed in the rear to rest, but it was only less than half a month, how could it have changed. Or Yu Baishui personally drove Tang Cheng back to Sanli Town, Tang Cheng, who was sitting in the back seat, pondered all the way, and finally came to a conclusion that the culprit was Yu Baishui who was driving in front, if he hadn't pulled himself into the urn, how would the Song family know that he was a little shrimp.
If it weren't for the fact that he was targeted by the Song family, he would not have been pretended to be imprisoned, if it weren't for the fact that he was imprisoned, Niu Laogui and the others would not have reported the matter to Zhong Bin, and there would not have been a matter of the Ministry of Military Affairs transferring the second company to the front line to prepare for war. Staring at the back of Bai Shui's head, Tang Cheng really wanted to pounce on him and give him a few punches, but this matter also has his own responsibility, if he resolutely did not let go when Bai Shui invited him to Jindee, maybe these things that followed would not have happened.
It was not only Tang Cheng himself who was worried, Niu Laogui and others who received the transfer order of the second company were also frowning and sending cushions to the headquarters of the 88th Division, just to seek a way to rescue Tang Cheng from prison, but they did not expect that the 88th Division would order the transfer of the second company to the front line to prepare for war. "It's over now, we have enough people now, but there are still a lot of people lying on the bed, so it's hard for us to take the wounded to the front line." Lao Northeast's words made Niu's old words light up, but then they dimmed again.
Niu Laogui originally wanted to use those wounded to talk about things, so he said that the combat effectiveness of the second company had not recovered, and used this excuse to hint at the difficulties of the second company to the headquarters of the 88th Division, so as to continue to stay in Sanli Town to recuperate. But this time the order came from the Ministry of Military Affairs, this is Wuhan, the Ministry of Military Affairs can send people to determine the situation of the second company at any time, if you are not careful, the second company will be charged with fearing the war and avoiding the war, if Tang Cheng is arrested and imprisoned again, then he will not be able to get out.
"Alright, don't talk about it." Lao Northeast's gossip made Niu Lao Gui irritable, "Isn't it just to fight with the little devil, we people have never fought with the little devil and don't go to the front line, that is, disobey the order, Lao Tzu doesn't want to die in prison." Niu Laogui is not a person who can speak, but his vernacular words made the old northeast nod frequently, when you are a soldier, you have to fight, this is a matter of course, and if you don't go to prison because of disobedience, it is better to die on the battlefield.
The big guy is gossiping, saying everything, saying that he went up the mountain and falling into the grass, and said that he obeyed orders to go to the front line, but this is more than 100 lives, and it is a life-critical matter, as the company commander Tang Cheng is not there, Niu Laogui They really have no good way. Niu Laogui and his gang were so noisy that they couldn't come up with a proper way, and Niu Laogui could only order the gate of the barracks to be closed, strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and everything would wait until Tang Cheng came back to make a decision.
"Brother, brother will send you here, I won't go in, I'm afraid that your subordinates will eat me." Yu Baishui, who had a hippie smile, stopped the car, there was still some distance from the military camp in Tangcheng, but Yu Baishui said that he would not go forward. Rolling his eyes directly at Yu Baishui, Tang Cheng opened the door and got out of the car slowly, but before Yu Baishui turned around and left, Tang Cheng asked Yu Baishui for a batch of bullets and grenades, saying that this was Yu Baishui's apology to himself.
"Okay, let's disperse, what should we do, let's go the day after tomorrow, and prepare tomorrow." Tang Cheng's return made everyone happy, and now there was someone who had an idea, but as soon as Tang Cheng came back, he drove away all the idlers gathered at the door of the command post, and only called Niu Laogui and Lao Dongbei and a few of their veterans in. "The order still has to be obeyed, or we will all become deserters, what are you all doing with a bitter face, and the division headquarters didn't say that we must go to the battlefield." Tang Cheng pretended to laugh a few times relaxedly, and seeing that Niu Laogui and the others still looked spiritless, Tang Cheng had no choice but to hide his smiling face.
Looking around at a few guys in the command post, Jiujin, who was seriously injured, was also in the command post, but he also had no idea, he just did what Tang Cheng said, and Tang Cheng didn't expect him to help. Lao Northeast is a guy who only remembers food and not fighting, and it is right to find him in a war, but if he gives advice, Lao Northeast is not as good as Liu Shishi. Tang Cheng finally set his eyes on Niu Laogui, who only cared about lowering his head and smoking, but Tang Cheng picked and chosen, and the second company was quite reliable except for himself, that is, Niu Laogui.
"Uncle Niu, you are well-informed, give me an idea, don't patronize and smoke." Seeing that Niu Laogui didn't care about himself, Tang Cheng quietly gave Liu Shishi a look, and the hardcore follower Liu Shishi understood and immediately took the words to lure Niu Laogui to speak. But Niu Laogui is a good person, and there will be no double reed tricks sung by Liu Shishi and Tang Cheng, Liu Shishi said a lot, Niu Laogui still only cares about smoking, and the smoke and fire in the command post are almost impossible to see people.
Niu Laogui didn't speak, Tang Cheng also held back a smile, the order had come, the second company couldn't hide, he called Niu Laogui and them into the command post, just wanted to discuss how to place the wounded. As the old Northeast worried, the second company came to Sanli Town to rest for less than half a month, and the wounded brought back from Macheng have not fully recovered, the second company is going to the front line to prepare for the war this time, so naturally they can't take the wounded together, before the second company is ordered to pull, Tang Cheng needs to settle these wounded first.
No one spoke in the command post, Niu Laogui glanced at Tang Cheng, and then threw away the cigarette butt and finally opened his mouth, "We still have 32 wounded who have not recovered and cannot fight, and the second company cannot take them to the front line together, nor can we only leave the wounded behind, we also have to leave a few brothers here to take care of the injured brothers, deducting the number of injured and those who stay to take care of the wounded, we can only go to the front line 110, let's report this number to the division headquarters first, don't say that we will eat empty salaries." ”
Although the second company has been self-sufficient since Macheng, the 88th Division has already given a message, as long as the second company goes to the front line to prepare for war, all the expenses will be borne by the 88th Division, Niu Laogui said this just to prevent villains from making trouble. After saying these words, Niu Laogui looked at Tang Cheng again, and the latter nodded to indicate that he had recorded it, "We now have 8 carts and more than 40 horses, if we only carry the same weapons and equipment as other troops, these horses and carts will be enough for us, but if Yu Baishui sends ammunition again, then we need to prepare a few more carts, so that the brothers can save more when they are in a hurry." ”
"This is easy to do, I will find Yu Baishui to get a truck, the excess ammunition and machine guns will be pulled by the truck, and our people will ride horses and ride in large carts, so that not only is the speed fast, but the brothers can also save some effort." Tang Cheng crossed out the article he had just memorized, and loaded all the machine guns and ammunition onto the truck, more than 40 horses and 8 carts were enough for 110 people. Tang Cheng's words reminded Niu Laogui of the Japanese army truck that was given to the Huang family in Macheng, if that truck was in hand, they couldn't go to Baishui for help.
"And our money, come back in exchange for some oceans, and send a few pieces to each brother, all of which are sewn into the corners of the clothes, in case we are broken up by the little devils, the surviving brothers will have a chance to eat, drink, and live." Niu Lao Gui babbled a lot, and he had already said that he had prepared life money for his soldiers. People who have fought with the Japanese army know the ferocity of the Japanese army, if the second company is really sent to the battlefield to fight with the Japanese army, no one can say how many people can survive, so that the soldiers under his command sewed the ocean in the corners of their clothes, but Niu Laogui wanted to have peace of mind.
Niu Laogui's idea made Liu Shishi bitter, and the spare money of the second company was all under his control, and suddenly took out such a large sum of money, Liu Shishi was somewhat painful. Tang Cheng naturally knew Liu Shishi's thoughts, and glared at him, Liu Shishi could only nod again and again and promise to do this tomorrow. After discussing the placement of the wounded, discussing the payment of money to the soldiers under his command, and discussing the means of transportation and the route of travel, Tang Cheng and Jiujin checked the existing ammunition reserves of the second company, if Yu Baishui could send ammunition tomorrow, the ammunition reserves of the second company were enough for their 110 people to fight for a week.
"Okay, that's it, while there is still time, go to the haircut, shower and go shopping, the new arrivals must be followed by veterans, but don't wait for us to leave, the new arrivals will all run out." Tang Cheng later mentioned the matter of preventing the escape of recruits, and the troops who had replenished the recruits in the national army sequence would watch the recruits in their own troops before they went to the front, which had almost become a common practice, and the second company was subordinate to the national army sequence, which was naturally not exempt from vulgarity. There are only 110 people left in the second company who can still fight, and if those dozens of recruits run away, then Tang, the company commander, will become a platoon commander.
